"Huckbee", I suppose, is another "word" that fits the list, but without an apostrophe-s on the end. "I (heart) Huckbee's"? It even has a symbol in its title (I believe). It's a real stretch but I don't see how getting a movie title (or a second clue) out of -,.^%?? wouldn't be.

If not another clue, Mr. Penguin, then at least a "you're getting warmer" reply to one of these? (Which would be ironic coming from a penguin)

They've already done Hamlet though of course.

Not Mel Gibson's Hamlet!  ;)

Hamlet's been riffed. :^)

So I remembered that there's a rapper named DJ Qbert. Since the word cloud was very reminicent of Q*Bert, I thought I'd check if he's been in any movies. Apparently he was in this puppy:

I REALLY doubt this is the answer, but it sounds hysterically bad. :^)

Maybe the symbols actually represents a swear word...and its a hint that the next movie is a movie with lots of swearing.

What movies had allot of swearing?

Maybe Snatch?

But that was a pretty good movie...

Ah, maybe the clue has something to do with computer geeks?



This seems to be a nudge in the right direction.  Anyone know what this emoticon means? 

EDIT: the code says it's a geek....hmmm.  Hackers?

If that's what I think it is, it's a collection of animated music vids. I think I have the Qbert song around somewhere actually, fits the description of the film pretty much perfectly.

Movies with lotsa swearing...
I believe Pulp Fiction had the record for F-Bombs until South Park came along. :^)

Another movie with "cracking the code" and computer geeks is Tron

Pak-Man

But Da Penguin's clues are ALWAYS codes. And they always mean SOMETHING. I think we need to crack the code, instead of finding movies in which codes are cracked. :^)

David

But swearing is a hallmark of modern cinema.

And every Penguin clue so far has been a "code to crack"... the movies themselves were not about codes.

Don't wanna shoot anyone down but we need to narrow this down.

Strangely enough, when I searched Yahoo for -,.^%??, it pulled up this news article.

Which makes no sense at all. Days of Thunder? :^)

Pulp Fiction has the f-bomb 281

In Casino, the word "F**" is said 422 times, including in the narration - 2.4 times per minute on average.

Scarface is also in the 200's
